Square Enix has been changing its strategy for several months now. The Japanese publisher no longer plans to do exclusives, and wants to bring the focus back to franchises with strong commercial potential.
In its latest financial report, the Japanese firm announced that it is undergoing a three-year reboot period. Square Enix executives now want to focus on quality rather than quantity.
From now on, all major titles will be released simultaneously on all platforms. These large-scale releases will be more regular and focused on key licenses. The main platforms targeted are the PS5, Switch 2, Xbox Series, and PC.
For the quarter ending September 30, 2025, Square Enix recorded a 15% decline in net sales and a 28.8% increase in operating income.
It’s interesting to see Square Enix evolving its strategy and focusing on quality while expanding to multi-platform gaming. This shift could lead to some exciting new experiences for fans. Looking forward to seeing what they have in store!
I agree, it’s definitely a significant shift for Square Enix. It’ll be exciting to see how this multi-platform approach influences their storytelling and game design. This could open up their iconic titles to a broader audience, which might bring fresh perspectives to their classic franchises!
I completely agree! It’s interesting to see how their multi-platform approach might attract a broader audience. It could also lead to some creative collaborations that we haven’t seen before.
